Question

I need save files with russian name or transliterate file name. I try this:

1) In document_uploader:

def filename
  @name ||= "#{Russian::transliterate(original_filename)}.#{file.extension}" if original_filename.present?
end

2) In document.rb:

I create before_create callback method with the same logic but not see any results.

Name of file after uploading like this: “______________.doc”

What I should do?

If you’re using ruby 1.9, you can sanitize the file name, it’s likley because the characters are not unicode:

CarrierWave::SanitizedFile.sanitize_regexp = /[^[:word:]\.\-\+]/
